Can You Make a U-Turn Over Double Yellow Lines?
1 Answers
Double yellow lines do not permit U-turns. Relevant information about double yellow lines is as follows: Violations involving double yellow lines: Double yellow lines must not be crossed, and overtaking or reversing over them is strictly prohibited. U-turns or turns are only permitted when the double yellow lines are broken or become dashed lines, provided that traffic signs allow it and it is safe to do so. Making a U-turn over solid double yellow lines constitutes a violation of crossing the line, which may result in a fine and a deduction of 3 points from the driver's license. Composition of double yellow lines: If one of the double yellow lines is solid and the other is dashed, vehicles on the side with the dashed line may temporarily cross it for maneuvers such as overtaking or turning. Double yellow lines consist of two parallel solid yellow lines, typically painted in the center of roads without a central divider to separate opposing lanes of traffic, serving as boundary markers for vehicle lanes. Neither double yellow lines nor single yellow lines should be crossed arbitrarily. Single solid lines are used for the center of two-way roads, while double solid yellow lines are used for roads with four or more lanes.
